Fridge Question

PoodleMayhem

I have a 2017 320 with a 3-way fridge.  I plugged into shore power earlier to charge my battery.  When I went out a few minutes ago, the fridge sounded like it was running (not cooling, but running).  Power switch is off.  What’s happening and how do I make it stop?

Is your frig set on DC?  Sure it’s turned off?

Yes, definitely off, which is what made it so perplexing!  I ended up unplugging from the house for a bit.  I just reconnected.  Will go back out shortly to check on things.

Could it be the fan in your power convertor under the driver's side bench? That always runs when I plug in.

Is it possible there is some kind of frig fan that is running independent of the frig?  The converter fan noise is more mid-TaB, I would not expect for it to sound like it is coming from the frig.  Is there a separate frig fan switch in the 2017s?  Or, is the accessory A/C fan still on?

It was definitely something with the fridge.  Sounds like I need to investigate further.

If you have the fridge with the aux fan (fan switch on the right side of the fridge panel, and a vent on the passenger side) that could be the fan you hear running.  Look for the green light.
